This book is designed to help non-Mandarin speakers navigate the sprawling electronics markets of Shenzhen. The markets are locally referred to as the Hua Qiang Bei (HQB) markets, after the road that runs through the heart of the market. The concept behind this book is to provide a “point-to- translate” interaction that is structured according to a typical transaction in the market: 1. Specifying components 2. Specifying quantity and packaging 3. Payment and delivery 4. Remembering the vendor’s location The book also includes sections on what to expect, basic survival, and getting around. It does not cover topics such as eating, drinking, local attractions, places to stay, or making friends with the locals, as most basic travel guides for the area already provide adequate coverage of these topics. Why Point to Translate instead of Phonetic? The standard phonetic system for transcribing Mandarin is pinyin. However, pronouncing pinyin is very tricky. Consider the phrase, “I’m eating a goose.” The pinyin transcription is “wǒ chī é”, but the pronunciation is closer to “whua chee uh” - and that doesn’t even consider the complication of tonality. Thus, a verbal phrase-book style translation is not effective without at least a few hours of pinyin pronunciation training. Fortunately, written Chinese is standardized, even across 10 The Essential Guide to Electronics in Shenzhen China’s hundreds of regional dialects. Therefore, pointing at written translations is effective at communicating with anyone in China, even to people who speak a dialect other than Mandarin. Using the Guide The book is designed around enabling fast real-time interaction with locals. Translations are organized by component type or scenario, and the spiral binding allows the book to be easily left open to that page, so both parties can view the bilingual phrases with ease. The binding also allows the book to accommodate the extra thickness of business cards, which may be placed in the included pouches for quick access. The pouches are interleaved among several copies of a market map, allowing business cards (which are primarily printed in Chinese) to be easily matched with map annotations. This simplifies the problem of remembering a vendor’s location for repeat business. It’s generally recommended to bring printed specification drawings to the market, especially when sourcing switches, connectors, and other components with complex or arbitrary dimensions. While the vendors cannot speak English, most can read enough English characters to interpret a mechanical drawing. Each plastic business card holder sheet also has a larger pouch meant for storing folded up specification drawings. The tabs along the edge enable fast navigation between sections, and the elastic band on the back functions as a bookmark for quick access. All the pages can be torn out for easy sharing with friends and suppliers. Finally, this book never runs out of batteries, and is compatible with the most popular API in the market - printed name card, receipts, and drawings. It loads instantly bunnie 11 no matter where you are - the Great Firewall of China can’t filter it. You actually own your copy of this book - unlike software, it’s not licensed to you via a click-through EULA that robs you of all your fair use rights. It also can’t be infected with malware, has no pop-up ads, and will never upload confidential notes about pricing, sources, and vendors to the cloud. Your data is your data! About Technical Chinese As my friend Gavin Zhao once quipped, Chinese is a wonderful language for poetry, but difficult for precise technical communications. Fans of Randall Munroe’s XKCD may have seen the “Up-Goer Five” blueprint comic (http:// xkcd.com/1133/), where complex technical concepts are explained using only the “ten hundred” most common English words. Considering that 98% of Chinese is covered with only 2,500 characters, and there are only 7,000 “general use” characters, most technical terms in Chinese have to be decomposed into idioms that are reminiscent of the Up- Goer Five scenario. For example, a resistor is 电阻, which means “electric obstructor”, capacitor is 电容, which means “electric container”, and a computer is 电脑, which means “electric brain”. On the other hand, some concepts have names which are simply phonetic loan words with no meaning, such as the Schottky diode: 效特基二极管. The first three characters are “xiào tè jī” (sounds like “shao tuh gee”), which sound somewhat like “Schottky” but the characters mean “resembles particular basis/foundation”; clearly phonetic but no meaning. The last three characters mean “two-pole tube”, which does make some sense. And then there are the pronunciation subtleties, such as 芯片号, “xīn piàn hào” (which means an “IC’s part number” (literally “core flat item’s number”), which with misplaced accents sounds like 性偏好, “xìng piān hào” which means “sexual 12 The Essential Guide to Electronics in Shenzhen preference”. No native speaker would ever mispronounce or confuse the two, but a foreigner going up to a local asking “What’s your chip’s part number?” could be heard as “What’s your sexual preference?” if mispronounced and taken out of context. Even Mandarin speakers find it challenging to communicate certain technical terms. Different idioms are used, for example, between Taiwan and Shenzhen. There are other differences across China depending upon the dialect and context: academics will typically use more formal and technically rigorous terms than a market trader or even an engineer. For example, in the market the descriptive term 三 级管 (‘three-pole tube’) is sometimes used for a transistor, instead of the academically accepted 晶体管 (‘crystal tube’). Both of these could refer to a “metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor” (MOSFET), but there’s no uniform system for abbreviating 金属-氧化物-半导体型场效应管 (that’s Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor spelled out in Chinese characters). In this case, market traders will often fall back to using English acronyms or some local slang to refer to a given part. For this book, I’ve worked with my Chinese friends to produce translations that are targeted at the vernacular of traders in the Hua Qiang electronics market (of which many are from the city of Chaozhou (潮州市), and so speak a common dialect). If you do happen to find any errors or have suggestions for improvements, please send a note to [email protected]. What’s in the Market (And What’s Not) The Shenzhen electronics market is an amazing resource, but it’s not the be-all and end-all for sourcing electronic parts. As a general rule, if it’s not already in a product sold at Walmart, it’s probably not in this market. For example, bunnie 13 it’s hard to find analytical-grade sensors for quantities like pH, radiation and air quality. The selection of FPGAs is pretty dismal, and it’s not actually a great place to find microcontrollers – at least, not the types that Western- trained designers typically use. China has its own ecosystem of low-cost microcontrollers that are more popular with the locals. Also, given that the district sprang out of the ground in the 90’s, old or rare parts are hard to find, such as vacuum tubes or certain models of JFETs favored by elite audio engineers. For sourcing specialty parts, Taobao (taobao.com is China’s amalgamation of Amazon.com with eBay.com) is probably a better option than searching the physical markets. On the other hand, the market is brimming with parts found in any major mobile phone produced within the past decade. There are shelves loaded with cables, connectors, crystals, LEDs, diodes, transistors, resistors and capacitors. Generally, I find the market to be most effective for the following activities: • Sourcing “jellybean” parts (e.g., capacitors, resistors, and parts with non-critical specifications) • Finding cost-down alternatives to expensive switches and connectors – if there isn’t an exact replacement, there’s likely a functional equivalent at a tenth the price • Building an intuition for what’s hot on the market • Getting inspiration for making new products and finding new business opportunities The market is also heavily skewed toward electronics; there are some electromechanical components such as relays and motors, but not much.

    Appeal No. 2100138 DOB v. Chen Xue Huang March 17, 2021 APPEAL DECISION The appeal of Respondent, premises owner, is denied. Respondent appeals from a recommended decision by Hearing Officer J. Handlin (Bklyn.), dated December 3, 2020, sustaining a Class 1 charge of § 28-207.2.2 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York (Code), for continuing work while on notice of a stop work order. Having fully reviewed the record, the Board finds that the hearing officer’s decision is supported by the law and a preponderance of the evidence. Therefore, the Board finds as follows: Summons Law Charged Hearing Determination Appeal Determination Penalty 35488852J Code § 28-207.2.2 In Violation Affirmed – In Violation $5,000 In the summons, the issuing officer (IO) affirmed observing on July 20, 2020, at 32-14 106th Street, Queens: [T]wo workers at cellar level working on boiler while on notice of stop work order #052318C0303JW.” At the telephonic hearing, held on December 1, 2020, the attorney for Petitioner, Department of Buildings (DOB), relied on the IO’s affirmed statement in the summons and also the Complaint Overview for the premises, which documented Petitioner’s issuance of a full SWO on June 28, 2019, still in effect on the date of inspection. Respondent’s representative stated as follows. Respondent knew about the full SWO; however, Petitioner issued it in conjunction with a job that Respondent withdrew. Respondent then filed a new job that superseded the previous application and for which DOB issued a work permit. In the decision sustaining the charge, the hearing officer found that because Respondent offered no evidence that he ever applied to Petitioner to rescind the SWO, the work observed by the IO resulted in the cited violation.

It is not mechanical, still and solidified but melting, extensible, creative, pioneering and vigorous. It is the root of Chinese culture and a cultural system that keeps pace with the times. Its influence is enduring and universal. It has rich connotations including the “Root” Culture, the “Harmony” Culture, the “Golden Mean” Culture, the “Governance” Culture. All these have a great significance for the times and the realization of the Great Chinese Dream, therefore, it is necessary to combine the inheritance of Huang Di culture with its innovation, constantly absorb the fresh blood of the times with a confident, open and creative attitude, give Huang Di culture a rich connotation of the times, tap the factors in Huang Di culture that fit the development of the modern times to advance the progress of the country and society, and make Huang Di culture still full of vitality in the contemporary era. Index Terms—Huang Di, Huang Di culture, Chinese culture I. INTRODUCTION Huang Di, being considered the ancestor of all Han Chinese in Chinese mythology, is a legendary emperor and cultural hero. His victory in the war against Emperor Chi You is viewed as the establishment of the Han Chinese nationality. He has made great many accomplishments in agriculture, medicine, arithmetic, calendar, Chinese characters and arts, among which, his invention of the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine, Huang Di Nei Jing, has been seen as one of the greatest contributions to Chinese medicine.

In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM listed issuers.
